Sounds and Sparks – The Foxgloves and “Mama Was A Bandit”
If you’re a fan of folk music, Americana, or original tunes with a hint of a country twang, you’d be hard pressed to find a band more full to the brim with talent than The Foxgloves, a six piece band out of the Twin Cities. An all women group, their stellar harmonies, unique instrumentation and overall musical prowess shines on their first full-length album Mama Was a Bandit, which came out in September. The record’s ten tracks range from being high energy and fun-loving to beautifully somber, and manage to express heavy topics and heart-aching stories with grace.
The Foxgloves are: Maura Dunst, Nikki Lemire, Sara Tinklenberg, Liz DeYoe, Steph Snow, and Nyssa Krause
